A few people seem to have surfed into this site expecting to find
information about brains. Sorry if you are one of these. In order to help
these poor lost souls wandering round on the Internet, I have compiled a few facts and
some links that might be useful.

Please note that I have no special knowledge about brains, and
cannot vouch 100% for the information contained either here or in the links. If you
find any errors, please email me.

Q Is the left side of the brain bigger than
the right side?

A Apparently so, in most people.
Neuroscientists believe that a bigger right hemisphere, or hemispheres of equal
size, can be linked to learning difficulties - click here for more.

A Yes. This is to do with which side we
"use" most. Most people are left-brained. The side of your brain
which is dominant is usually on the opposite side of the body to the hand you write with.
However, 30% of right-handed people are right-brained, and 10% of left-handed
people are left-brained. For more information on this relationship, click here.

Q What about ambidextrous people?

A No idea, sorry.

Q Does it make a difference?

A Probably, because the two sides of the
brains are said to have slightly different specialisations (although these specialisations
are not always the same in all people). There are theories about the effect of being
right or left brained on our thinking. Click here for some information on this.

A Well, since it might be connected to the
way we think, then I suppose that is possible. However, it is true that Ronald
Reagan and Fidel Castro
are both left-handed, so perhaps that suggests otherwise.
